Well crap I forgot yesterday was Wednesday. We spent the morning and afternoon at the Blue Bell Creamery then went to the Blue Bell Aquatic center so by the time I got home I was exhausted and totally forgot about my promise to bring back Q & A Wednesday. Forgive me? SO here we are on Thursday......... ask away! Limited to 2 questions per person. Ask me anything seriously anything. I'll answer I'm not shy!

Ashley has said for years she wants to be a chef. Lately she has been cooking and making grocery lists and looking up recipes. Aaron and I are taking her to a cooking class Friday night. We can't wait. It's a 3 course meal starting with leek and chick pea soup, chicken wellington as the main course and warm apple crumble for dessert. YUM, can't wait!!!

So I know it's been a while. I was reading through my blog last and really love that I have a written diary of some of the most important events in my life. It got me thinking that I really need to keep it up for the sake of my kids at least. With Facebook it's so easy to go in and write a status and move on but those aren't saved in one database for years. So here I am. I am going to start back up the Q & A Wednesdays and Follow Up Fridays. Reading back through some of those questions and answers was great. So get your questions ready for Wednesday.

Ashley is a smart, funny, beautiful, free spirited and sweet 19 year old. She loves music and acting goofy. She wants to be a organic chef when she is done with school. She knows what she wants and doesn't let anyone stand in her way. Ashley moved to Austin in 2013 to fulfill her dream of going to Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. While in Austin Ashley slipped into the darker side of the city. It is with a heavy heart that I say Ashley passed away on April 6th, 2014.

Preston

Preston is such a boy who makes us laugh. He loves to jump, run, scream, climb but also loves to snuggle. I love seeing his little mind at work. Preston will be 8 on Halloween.

Lillian

Lily is the princess of the family. She has us all tricked into doing whatever she wants. She loves to play dress up and read her books. She always has a smile on her sweet face. Lily will be 8 on Halloween.

Carly

Our newest baby girl. We didn't find out the gender (since this is our last) we were completely shocked that she was a she. We just assumed boy. You know the way I was carrying, stupid myths! Anyway we are completely over the moon in love with our precious Carly. She is certainly our firecracker. Carly will be 3 in April.
